Is my little one getting enough BF?

I am new to the board and have a baby boy who is 6days old. He is a very very sleepy eater and I am not sure if he is getting enough and if my supply is going to stay good. He eats on one boob for about 8 minutes but pauses a lot, then he falls asleep sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for an hour or so. He then feeds off the other for another 5 - 8 minutes. His poops are yellow with some green in it and they are like play do consistency, he poops about 6 times a day. He pees every diaper change too. Is he doing ok am I doing ok. I was thinking maybe I should pump and give a bottle or two a day to make sure. Any advice or words of wisdom welcome, please. I am so nervous.

Yep he is getting enough - and as each day goes by he will be more alert and will eat more as well. My ped said that he believes most babies get 85% of what they need in the first 5 minutes of feeding. If he wasn't satisfied, he'd cry. Good luck and congrats!

It sounds like he is getting enough from the amount of dirty diapers and the constinency of them. I remember it was so hard in the beginning because you don't know, but it sounds like you are doing great!!! Congratulations on your new baby!!
